IPV6 zones, why did anyone ever think that URL, ping, etc… was a good idea.

[Brian Aker @brianaker]

@timothylord No option C? There is a lot of cheap rental space that is available in strip malls. My favorite library where I grew up was in a grocery store that they put up some shelves in.

@Gavriel_Cohen This is not a new problem for Open Source, sadly.

[Brian Aker @brianaker]

We need IPv8... remove all of historical BS, exceptions, stuff not implemented, and wishful thinking that IPv6 sits on. Realistic, privacy considered, with no "all vendors co-operate with" fairy dust. Sites should not be dependent on the good behavior of the upstream provider.

[Brian Aker @brianaker]

Wow, Google is finally going to make IPv6 work on Android devices... the bug report that was opened on this has been listed as "Won't Fix" for 13 years.

“Voting for the President’s Big Fat Bill is signing your farm over to Bill Gates”,… I can’t say I would’ve predicted that one 20 years ago.

[Brian Aker @brianaker]

Current revision control tools are utterly useless with code older >10 years,... optimistically.

Is there any point to logging into Stack Overflow other than downvoting bad answers?

@timothylord @cheapaudioman @AudiophiliacMan Is there a Google Doc version of it where I can comment on it? :)

@jzawodn The bakery near us put out Pumpkin Spice donuts today.

ChatGPT on why it didn't get the correct answer? It admits to have made an assumption on race:

Like in schools, does it matter if OpenAI cannot correctly handle simple math problems?

[Brian Aker @brianaker]

It took several hints, and an embarrassing number of runs, before OpenAI finally determined that its understanding of arrays in zsh was incorrect:

@timothylord @graeme_cobb It sounds like what you want is a fuel cell; it is a shame that the patent costs associated with filling up with hydrogen make lithium batteries the "affordable" solution.

[Brian Aker @brianaker]

chatgpt failure... I ask about a plot point in a book, it answers with the wrong answer... I give it a leading question which it then fails... so I ask it about page/paragraph for its answer... it gives me a "cannot provide answer for copyright issues". Oh well...

I am trying to figure out the best way to explain K3's power usage, I think the image with drool nails it,...

I wonder who all Scarlett Johansson has been told to emulate when she has undergone voice training.

@RamonGainez @bcantrill @mjasay @InfoWorld You would hope that Hashicorp might take a look at the Opentofu code, there looks to be an obvious bug in the Hashicorp implementation.

[Brian Aker @brianaker]

HashiCorp's and OpenTofu remove_statement.go? They don't remotely look similar and the execution is not the same. As for how removed.go works? Plainly, how state is maintained is entirely different as well. What is the same? The copyright notice, which is just how it is done.
